Bengals now have best 8-game start under Zac Taylor

Posted by Admin November 11, 2026 NFL

The Cincinnati Bengals put together another convincing win over the Atlanta Falcons this morning in Madrid.

Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins put on an absolute show in front of a massive international audience, leading the Bengals to 6-2 on the season.

With the win over Atlanta, the Bengals have officially put together the best start through eight games in the Zac Taylor era at 6-2.

Cincinnati has started 5-3 through their first eight games twice under Taylor (2021, 2023), but 2026 now takes the cake as the best start under their current head coach.

The Bengals truly are just two plays away from being 8-0 on the season, but it is hard to complain about where the team is right now.

With Burrow playing at an MVP level and the defense doing enough to support the best offense in the NFL, it could be an exciting year for Bengals fans.

Taylor and the Bengals will now return home for a massive, and I mean massive, AFC North showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers next weekend on Sunday Night Football.
